Atmel, Cisco and the Swedish Institute of Computer Science (SICS) Collabore to Support a Future Where Any Device Can Be Connected to the Internet

October 14, 2008

A new powerful collaboration supports a future where any device can be connected to the Internet.

“Atmel Corporation, Cisco and the Swedish Institute of Computer Science (SICS) today announced the availability of uIPv6, one of the world’s smallest open-source, IPv6-ready protocol stack, which could enable every device, no matter how limited by power or memory to have an Internet Protocol address. This collaborative project builds on Cisco’s expertise in IP networking, Atmel’s innovative low-power wireless hardware and SICS’ knowledge in embedded operating systems design. “uIPv6 has the potential to impact a wide range of market verticals where automation is key, just as voice over IP did in enterprise telephony,” said Rob Adams, senior director of Cisco’s Corporate Development technology group.”
